Referee's Report - Concurrency: Practice & Experience
=====================================================

Paper No. : C521

Title     : A Java Extension Framework for Web-based Simulation

Authors   :  Tang and Wie

Recommendations: Reject

Comments:
---------
	This paper describes the design of a Java based framework
	for simulations on the web. The paper essentially provides
	a narrative description of high level design aspects. The
	overall design structure is sound, but not very novel
	or interesting -- the 3-tier architecture is fairly
	common, and the components in each layer are standard.
	The authors also do not provide any interesting descriptions
	of issues like implementation challenges, performance and
	security that might potentially transform the paper from
	a routine design description to one that is of appeal
	and value to practitioners. The paper may be more
	appropriate for a workshop or user group meeting on
	web-based simulation tools; I regret that based on
	its content, I cannot recommend acceptance for publication
	in Concurrency: Practice and Experience.
